Sabres Glaring Lack Of Urgency Is Infuriating

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is joined by Chris Ostrander from Two in the Box to discuss several topics, including what's turning out to feel like a glaring lack of urgency from the Buffalo Sabres to throw caution to the wind and operate with a sense of urgency.The Sabres have missed the playoff a historic 14 years and are tied with the New York Jets for the longest drought in all of the four major professional sports. They also have a general manager and head coach both in the final year of their contracts. However, you'd never know given the way they've operated this offseason, with the exception of one trade has very much felt like the status quo.  Chris has plenty of thoughts it all and spoiler alert---most of them aren't of the positive variety. One topic examined is if this organization has legitimately sucked all the passion or even the fun out of being a Buffalo Sabres fan.Also, Chris explains as best he can what happened to the soccer stadium that was supposed to get built in downtown Buffalo to support a professional soccer team. That plus reliving the Sabres Tim Kennedy fiasco from 15 years ago and tons more.Be sure to follow Chris on X at @2ITB_Buffalo and check out the Two in the Box blog in addition to the Instigator Podcast.♦♦♦♦♦The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!
